Common Problems After an ABI

"Thousands of children and young people living in the UK today without the help and support that can make a huge difference to their lives"

"Participation in teen sports and normal activities leads to improved quality of life for children and young people post brain injury and helps to maximise outcomes"

"More play increases brain plasticity and makes for better recovery post brain injury"

"Parent-supported interventions after paediatric ABI bring reductions to the cost to society"

"Case management for children and young people post acquired brain injury is 'pivotal' to successful outcomes and must be local"

"When different organisations assess different aspects of a child's neuro-rehabilitation needs, everyone looks at things from a different perspective and have conflicting priorities"

"Our 10 year study proves that family-led home-based neuro-rehab interventions deliver the best outcomes for children and young people"

"Children and young people have poor social competence post brain injury due to reduced cognition, executive functions, and emotional control. As a result they are twice as likely to have mental health issues in the future"

"Strength-based family intervention after pediatric ABI is essential. Parents need to be equipped with the skills to cope and advocate for the child."

"Intensive and individualized approaches work. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't. You have to make it relevant to the child."
